Just got a couple of quick cell phone videos of my Rhino on a hill climb. Like always the video doesn't do the hill any justice. The rock I climbed up in the second video was probably 18 inches thick.

I tell you with my motor mods and tire and wheel combo I dont think my clutch setup could be any more evenly matched. I did however drive martins rhino with the power steering and that cost me another $600 bucks because it will definitely be my next mod.

You didn't seem to be struggling any. Nice looking area.

yeah he wasn't struggling any just went right up it with little effort for sure. A fine tuned CVT for your setup is a wonderful thing for sure just takes sometime to get it perfect for your setup when your as picky as we both are about shit!

No sway bar on his ride or mine since we went to 27" tires.

Man ! Hate that I missed that ride. This is one of my favorite places.
Kev, Your right, the camera doesn't do justice for those two hills. The wife and I used to ride those "two up" on a four wheeler and that would really make You pucker !
Maybe next time Ya'll go, I could go with Ya. There is another set of trails on the south end of those that has a nice waterfall.

Yeah Larry we missed getting to meet and ride with you so lets get another trip planned soon! Let us know some dates that works for you. We are trying to plan a moccasin gap ride which isnt far from you either.

How is Mill Creek compared to Moccasin Gap or Wolf Pen Gap.Never rode Mill Creek . I'v got to take it easy on my wife for awhile till she gets over her bypass surgery. Last time we were at Macks Pines they had cut some new trails but were pretty rocky.

There is a discussion about a ride at moccasin gap this weekend or next I will keep you guys posted. I think the 23rd would give more people time to plan but I'm down for whatever.
